Lettuce Life: Lessons in Leadership with Executive Chef/ Partner Janet Kirker
Welcome to Lettuce Life, a behind the scenes look at what makes Lettuce Entertain You special: our people. Meet Chef/ Partner Janet Kirker, who is one of the culinary geniuses behind restaurant brands including Beatrix, Beatrix Market, Foodease, who after six years at Lettuce Entertain You, now oversees a total of 5 restaurants, 3 of which opened within a 365 day period!
It's more than tenure that makes someone a good leader and Chef Janet shares lessons she's learned throughout her career from a passionate cook to an executive chef and partner.
"I could have gone in many different directions and would have done just fine. But the need for combining all types of experiences within the restaurant industry, I believe is what allowed me to grow into an executive chef position," explains Chef Janet.
Here are Chef Janet's lessons in leadership:
It's the passion for what you do that is something you can't teach.
"All I ever wanted to be was a chef. I was surrounded by a passion for food throughout my childhood. I had a cheesecake making business in high school and during my time at the University of Illinois, I worked for a local catering company to pay my way through school."
Educate yourself as much as possible and embrace mentorship from those you admire.
"My decision to go to college and not straight to cooking school may seem unconventional for an aspiring chef. Getting this education taught me business skills. During my time in college, I worked for a local catering company and the owner taught me about the importance of starting from the bottom up – I started as a dishwasher and worked my way up."
Have confidence in your craft, but never stop learning.
"The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) was the logical choice after U of I. I wanted to do fine dining because I loved beautiful, fancy food and I knew that I needed to understand the technical pieces to cooking."
Chef Janet mastered her craft; she learned the techniques needed in the kitchen, when and why they worked, the history of cooking and more. Right out of culinary school, she landed a 14-hour cooking stage with famed Chef Charlie Trotter. At the end of the job at 2AM, he offered Janet her dream job.
In an industry that isn't known for discipline, be disciplined.
Chef Charlie Trotter ran a tight kitchen. For Chef Janet, it was a blessing and a curse.
"When I look at the lessons that I've learned in my life, one thing that you need to be in order to be successful in this business is disciplined. I was lucky that right off the bat, there was discipline. There was no way around it and no excuse not to have it."
Be open to trying new things.
Chef Janet's career pulled her to the East Coast to join award-winning restaurateur Danny Meyer, founder of Union Square Hospitality, to open Tabla in New York City in 1998.
"To be a part of a restaurant opening is a critical moment in one's career. Construction was not yet finished when I moved and I learned to understand what it takes to literally build a restaurant and a team from the ground up."
At Tabla, Chef Janet worked alongside Executive Chef Floyd Cardoz.
"I learned so much about Indian culture with Chef Cardoz. I had the freedom to incorporate Indian spices into pastry, which fascinated me. Fast forward 15 years, and I'm in the test kitchen at Lettuce Entertain You doing a tasting for founder, Rich Melman and I decide to make Kulfi, an Indian ice cream dessert, and he loved it."
To be a great manager, you must also be a great teacher.
As a chef instructor at the Chopping Block, one of the largest recreational cooking schools in Chicago, Chef Janet taught classes, planned curriculum, trained other chef instructors and really helped to grow the business.

"At Chopping Block, it occurred to me just how much teaching overlaps with being a good manager. To have constant interactions with people who always wanted to learn and to be constantly challenged to come up with new recipes, curriculum ideas… it was some of the most valuable times in my career."
Team work really does make the dream work.
Chef Janet joined the Lettuce Entertain You team at Foodease and then went on to open Beatrix and Beatrix Market alongside her team of chefs and partners.
"So much of what we do and how we succeed depends on collaboration. Everyone on my team brings different ideas and what I've learned is that when we all work together we're able to give our guests the best experience possible."

No voltage to the fan switch on my '03 w/217K. The Clymer wiring diagram seems to indicate a 10A inline fuse in the hot wire just upstream of the switch, though found no such thing prior to the wire disappearing into an inch thick bundle of wires. Anybody have any light to shed on this? I really don't want to disassemble the wiring harness looking for something that may not be there.

An epic rendition of the imperial experience in India, Kim is one of Rudyard Kipling's greatest works.
Reared in the teeming streets of India at the turn of the century, Kimball O'Hara – a 13-year-old orphan living in Lahore – is the eponymous hero of Kipling's masterpiece. One day Kim befriends a Tibetan lama and, looking for adventure and new experiences, becomes his disciple. Together they go on a quest: the lama is searching for the legendary Sacred River of Healing while Kim is charged with delivering a parcel to one Colonel Creighton in Umballa, unwittingly involving himself in the Great Game.

Small Player in the Great Game
AMANDA THEUNISSEN
When I was a child, locked into the English school system, the only person I wanted to be was Kim. His life in Lahore was everything mine was not. 'Kim did nothing with an immense success . . . was hand in glove with men who led lives stranger than anything Haroun al Raschid dreamed of; and he lived a life wild as that of the Arabian Nights, but missionaries and secretaries of charitable societies could not see the beauty of it. His nickname through the wards was "Little Friend of All the World".' Even better, I thought, he was an orphan, living his own life, unhampered by the tedious entanglements of family. He was free.
Though it was not published until 1901, Kipling wrote Kim in 1892, a time when the confrontation between Russia and England on the Indian North West Frontier, which he called the Great Game, was at its height. Kim – Kimball O'Hara – is a 13-year-old orphan living in Lahore. His father, a soldier in an Irish regiment, had left Kim in the care of the half-caste woman 'who pretended to keep a second-hand furniture shop by the square where the cheap cabs wait'. She was an opium addict and so Kim brought himself up on the streets, speaking English badly and thinking in Hindustani. No one knows he is a white boy, a sahib. He's intelligent, quick-witted, loyal, resourceful and brave. Able to go anywhere and pass as Muslim or Hindu, he lives by begging and by running dangerous secret errands for Mahbub Ali, an Afghan Muslim horse-trader and a spy for the English . . .

Dr Alfred Wiener, a German Jew who fought in the First World War, was one of the first to note the rise of the Nazi Party, and he began to assemble an archive of information in order to undermine their activities. From downfall by documentation in the Nuremberg Trial to a tracing service made up of millions of records, we learn how The Wiener Library ensures that those who disappeared are not forgotten.

The preliminary findings of the study have been submitted to the state police department and soon more states will be covered under it.
File photo: Central Force's Jawan Patrol The Jhitka forest During Their Operation Against The Maoists, In Lalgarh, West Midnapur.
RAIPUR: It's the uniforms and weapons of Maoists which attract the tribal youths more to join the outlawed movement, rather than their ideology about the fight for land, a study on Naxalism has interestingly has said.
A group of research scholars headed by Dr Girish Kant Pandey, Head of the Department of Defence Studies in Government Science College here, has undertaken a special study to find the reasons which compel tribals to join the Naxal movement and then quit it.
"So far we have interviewed 25 surrendered Naxals who were working with the banned organisation for 12-13 years, but surprisingly none of them understand the Maoist ideology nor they could explain their aim to join the banned outfit," Dr Pandey, who did his PhD on the subject of Naxal insurgency in the early 90s, told PTI.
As a part of the study, the research team made its first visit to the Naxal hotbed of Gadchiroli in Maharashtra and its adjoining areas in December last year where they interacted with 13 former Naxalites and some of their family members.
In July this year, they visited Chhattisgarh's Bastar region where they interviewed 12 surrendered rebels.
"The study revealed that 92 per cent of rebels had joined the movement because of their attraction towards the 'Army-like' green uniform, guns, Maoist influence among villagers, besides obsession for dance, sloganeering and other activities of Chetna Natya Manch (a cultural outfit of Maoists)," research scholar Dr Varnika Sharma said.
However, poverty, unemployment, personal/ ancestral enmity are also the reasons highlighted by rebels for joining the movement, she said.
However she claimed that "none of them were influenced by the Maoist ideology to enter into guerrilla warfare."
The research also reveals that maximum cadres (about 33 per cent) deserted the movement after being impressed with the government's surrender policy, while around 25 per cent of them left the outfit due to illness, Sharma said.
Besides, 17 per cent of the Naxals dissociated with the movement due to internal rift and differences among top Naxal leaders while about 13 per cent quit the movement due to exploitation by senior cadres, she added.
Throwing light on other findings of the study, another research scholar Toran Singh Thakur said according to the surrendered cadres, the Naxals have failed to recruit more youths since 2011-12 and are running short of heads.
Most of those interviewed believe that the government should extensively publicise the provisions of surrender policy and the assistance being provided to those who lay down arms in remote villages so as to attract the disillusioned tribals into the mainstream, Thakur said.
"Three more states, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, will be covered under the research. The conclusions will be finally submitted to both the state police department and Ministry of Home Affairs," Pandey said.
Meanwhile, a senior police official hailed the efforts of the researchers saying that the study would help in dealing with Naxals psychologically.
"We have been trying to persuade several Maoists to join mainstream through several ways. Such kind of studies help in understanding their mindset and dealing with them psychologically. The war can't be won only by weapons," the police officer said on the condition of anonymity.

The Infiniti QX30 is only a few years old, but the model is already living on borrowed time.
In an interview with Motor Authority, Infiniti President Christian Meunier rather bluntly admitted the QX30 is "not a very successful product." That's putting it mildly as the company only managed to sell 8,101 units in the United States last year. To put that number into perspective, Mercedes sold over 24,000 GLAs which means their version of the crossover outsold the Infiniti by nearly 3:1.
While the QX30 wasn't a hit with consumers, Infiniti isn't going to abandon the booming compact crossover market. Instead, Meunier confirmed plans for a replacement and said the model will ride on an "all-Infiniti platform." This would be a big change as the current crossover is underpinned by Mercedes' MFA platform.
The platform might not be the only thing that is new as Meunier suggested the model will use a small displacement engine with variable-compression turbo technology. The system debuted on the 2019 QX50 in a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 268 hp (200 kW / 271 PS) and 280 lb-ft (379 Nm) of torque.
There's no word on the displacement or output of the smaller VC-Turbo engine, but the current QX30 has a Mercedes-sourced turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that develops 208 hp (155 kW / 211 PS) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. There's speculation the new engine could also come paired with some form of electrification, but nothing is official as of yet.

All of us at the Club are very grateful to him for sharing his impressions of what it's like to live here and be an Abaco Club member. And it goes without saying that it's certainly wonderful for our members and guests to be able to spend time with him here when he is in residence. Thank you, Darren!

Q: Is there a nicer way of referring to the object containing an object? For a lot of the applications I've made so far, there are always classes that contain a bunch of other classes.  For example, I might have a Player class that has a Pet.  However, I want to be able to refer to the Player through the Pet sometimes.  The following code will work for this:
public class Player {
    Pet p;
    public Player() {
        p = new Pet(this);
    }
}

public class Pet {
    Player owner;
    public Pet(Player owner) {
        this.owner = owner;
    }
}

If I want to refer to the Player through the Pet, then sure, I can just use the owner variable.  But is there a nicer way to do this?  I will often have classes containing classes containing classes, etc., so my Player class will own a Pet, which may have a Toy, and then the Toy has a reference to the Player.  And hell, I might even have classes above the Player, such as a Building in a City in the World.  So a Pet's Toy might have a reference to the entire World.  I feel like there must be a better way to do this.

A:
I feel like there must be a better way to do this.

Well, that really depends on scale. When your object model is pretty small, and you are (quite) sure, that there are no major enhancements to expect over the next months, or years ... then such simple "double bookkeeping" can be a reasonable answer.
But in more realistic scenarios: yes, that approach breaks quickly.
It then often helps to look into the ideas of domain driven design. First of all: look at what you are modelling. Sure, my pet dog knows me, but it doesn't know the concept of "owning", it doesn't know that I am his owner.
So, a first solution could be: simply drop that owner part from the Pet class. Instead, you might want to create some sort of index. In the most simple form, that could be a map. Some central registry is told that person X owns pet Y. Now your code can go and ask Y whether it knows the owner of X.
And coming back to DDD, there you talk about aggregates. Things that somehow belong together. But you can't just get to any of the members, you always have to go through some root element. See here for example.

A: If the link is a one-to-one relationship, you might be better off having an encapsulating object aggregating your pet, and your player. Or keep that double link between parent and child if your app isn't too big.
From your description about the city, the building and the world, I'm assuming the link can easily become a one-to-many and it can become tricky if it scales. In that case you might have to exernalize the linking to something like bi-directional maps. It's basically a map where you can get the value from the key as a normal map, but also get the key from the value. And in that case, you can link your dog and its pet easily.

Yes, restore factory setting is instantaneous but you'd need to press the restart button to have the settings take effect.
With factory setting restored, the modem would take longer to come online...did you notice the slowness in coming online? If so, then it was done right.
Hopefully, your issues are gone but if not, we'll figure it out with others chiming in.
That seemed to work for awhile but the issues are back again. It's frustrating as I've got good speed, new modem and router - both are top of the line. Same internet service for 5+ years with consistent high-speeds.
I believe it's time to try and put the Telo behind the router I guess, it's the one thing I have not tried. I'll make a separate post about asking for help with this setup and any tips and tricks so please post any links here or there if you have them.

Meritocracy: A Nice Idea...
Chloë Marvin, featured, Opinion
In a liberal state that strives for equality, meritocracy, or rather the gaining of something based on merit, rather than other factors, has become a core principle on which we aim to base our society. If we disregard gender, class, race, ethnicity and background from any job or university application, then in theory we should have people in jobs and universities who have been employed on merit alone. However, this is not the case. Meritocracy simply does not work.
There are several arguments associated with the flaws of meritocracy including race and gender, however in this article I will be discussing meritocracy in relation to class and wealth in the UK.
Let us start with education, at the beginning of any determining of merit, at the age of 11. Children have the opportunity to sit the 11+ exam to determine their ability to go to a grammar school which will facilitate a learning environment in which their academic talents will flourish. We see this as the beginning in education. This is a flaw. By the age of 11, a child will have had experiences and opportunities (or lack thereof) which will determine the outcome of a test like the 11+. They might not have parents who read to them at night or take them on cultural visits. They might have been in a primary school with low level disruption, or incompetent teachers, or even teachers without the adequate classroom resources to teach the lessons they wish they could. Their parents might not encourage them to take the 11+, might not know much about it, or they simply might live too far away from a grammar school as many are situated in privileged areas. The list continues. And so, all too frequently, those with privilege get into grammar schools and not just those with natural abilities, passions or talents.
Moving on to schooling. Now of course the disparities between private, grammar and comprehensive education are clear in terms of the opportunities to children. But we must remember that it is not even simply the standard of education received itself which can impair the outcomes of children in education. Equal opportunities does not mean equal outcomes. For example, if you live in an overcrowded home then it might be difficult to complete homework at night. A child might not have the right nutrition to concentrate and learn to the best of their ability. 1/3 children in the UK live in poverty and so both of these factors are real issues that British society must face up to.
And so we come to the point at which the principle of meritocracy, this ever strived for goal, comes into practice. From 16 onwards, people begin to apply to colleges, universities and jobs. In a competitive economy, in theory, the best person for the job should be selected. This will ensure the best outcomes for any organisation, company or academic institute. These privileged groups in society, mainly white, almost always the educated class and often men continue to get the higher positions in organisations and companies or places at the most elite universities. There are of course schemes such as the Sutton Trust which help those from underprivileged backgrounds into top Universities, but many slip through the net. There needs to be a change in mind set, rather than a few gestures to give some, rather than all a chance. We forget that there are many privileges which will have already put certain groups ahead of others in the running. How can meritocracy really be fair, if the merits have been unfairly distributed in the first place?
It could be argued that, unfortunately, because we must compete in a globalised world then we should just continue to choose those people simply because they have had better outcomes. But simply because on a piece of paper an potential candidate looks like they have more merit, it does not mean we should hire them or give them a place at a university.
Research has shown that state school students when studying the same degree at the same institution will often outperform their independent school counterparts by up to seven degree points, perhaps something to do with the fact that state school students often have to overcome many challenges within a somewhat lacking education system and are often left to their independent motivation. Working on the basis of meritocracy in the instance of university clearly does not always give the best outcomes. Yet people from private schools continue to take up a disproportionate amount of places at top universities, with Oxbridge taking almost 50% whereas only 7% of the population go to private schools. Simply because you have a better set of grades on your UCAS form does not necessarily give a true reflection of drive, competency, work ethic, passion, or even intellect. Although universities claim to take other factors into account, especially with those from the most underprivileged backgrounds, places continue to go to the most privileged.
Politics and in particular parliament is one of the most powerful spaces for change, for creating social and public policy that works for the whole population, not just the few at the top. Russell Brand once commented on how the UK political system is essentially created for privately educated students to enter, simply going from one oak panelled hall at their private school, to one at Oxbridge, before ending up in the oak panelled House of Commons. Is it any wonder that almost 1/3 of our MPs and half of the new cabinet are privately educated? Most offered an outstanding education, extra curricular activities such as debating society and MUN, they are in training to be in positions of power from when they first enter school.
We are a country facing countless problems, but many of these problems are faced by particular groups in society which don't have a real voice. The MPs in parliament are not the people going to food banks, applying for benefits or worrying about being homeless. These are often the people who the principle of meritocracy lets down, rendering them voiceless in parliament. Of course, activism in the forms of social media and the real free press does offer real people a voice, but in terms of legislative and decision making powers, these lie in the hands of those who rarely have experience of the chaotic lives that many in the UK are living right now. Whilst a "working class quota" is not realistically something that could be put into practice, there needs to be a real effort to get people who truly represent working people into parliament, as opposed to those who have had expensive public speaking tuition and a degree in PPE.
In the job market, and in day to day life, people are employed based on their qualifications and experience, as well as how they come across in person; based on merit. But how about we start to think about things a little differently. How good someone will really be in a position really is not necessarily about how they appear on the surface. Dig a little deeper and the person who seems to be less qualified might really have worked harder, had more talent, more drive, but just been dealt a worse card in life. We need to start questioning what we really class as merit, or we are doomed to put the same sorts of people in the same jobs for the rest of eternity…and that would just be boring.

The official trailer for "Narcos" Season 3 sees the rise of a new empire as the Cali Cartel takes center stage.
The new season of the drug cartel drama picks up with the DEA agents on a new hunt — the Cali Cartel — following the fall of Pablo Escobar at the end of Season 2. Known as the richest drug-trafficking organization in the world, this operation is led by four powerful godfathers who have their own way of handling business and staying out of the spotlight.
The four Kings — Damian Alcazar as Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela, Francisco Denis as Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, Alberto Ammann as Pacho Herrera, and Pepe Rapazote as Chepe Santacruz Londono — are expanding their empire over New York City and they aren't stopping there.
The newly-released footage sees Pedro Pascal return as DEA agent Javier Peña, and enlist American and Colombian law enforcement to help with the war on drugs.
"Try to go through the Cali bosses, all you'll get are more bodies," Peña is warned. "These guys don't make mistakes."
The Netflix series has also added cast members Matias Varela, Michael Stahl-David, Miguel Angel Silvestre, and Arturo Castro.
"Narcos" Season 3 premieres Sep. 1 on Netflix.
Mike Fleiss, creator of "The Bachelor," is being investigated by the police in Kauai after his pregnant wife, Laura, accused him of attacking her in their Hawaii home on July 4. Recent documents show that he has denied the allegations, and alleges that she is the one who attacked him. A police report is not [...]

Seaport Village Offers Harbor Views, Dining and Shopping
TripSavvy / Ana Alarcon
San Diego's Seaport Village is a shopping and dining complex similar to those found in many tourist-filled cities, mostly targeted toward visitors and good for a few hours of fun.
Seaport Village is a good place to have a meal with a waterfront view or to pick up a souvenir of your visit. While it's not among my top places to go in San Diego, a lot of other people disagree, giving it very high ratings on Yelp. This comment summarizes what they have to say: "Fun cute stop for shopping and food. Located on the Harbor so you can watch the ships come in and out."
Things to Do in Seaport Village
In April, some of the world's best street performers join those who work at Seaport Village during the Busker Festival. In September, you can celebrate Landlubbers day, in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day. Surfin' Santa splashes ashore in late November and hangs around for photos through Christmas.
Most people go to Seaport Village to shop and eat. More than a dozen casual dining spots serve pizza, sweets, burgers, sandwiches, and snacks. Four restaurants claim "bay view dining" and all offer views, but only the San Diego Pier Cafe is on the waterfront.
If you are looking for an indulgent treat, try Frost Me Gourmet for the best cupcakes in town. They have a cute patio, wild flavors like Chocolate Dulce de Leche Habanero — and they are proud winners of The Food Channel's Cupcake Wars.
Shoppers will find almost fifty Seaport Village shops selling collectibles, clothing, jewelry, and souvenirs, and most shops are one-of-a-kind. One of the best Seaport Village shops is the Wyland Gallery, a showcase for one of California's foremost marine artists, worth a visit even if you can only afford to look.
Children and carousel-lovers of all ages will enjoy Seaport Village's 1890s Looff Carousel and its fanciful steeds. A video arcade caters to the electronically-addicted.
With frequent concerts in two plazas and strolling musicians, Seaport Village is a musical place. Free public concerts are scheduled most weekends and some weekdays.
The San Diego SEAL Tour departs from Seaport Village, taking you on land and sea in an amphibious vehicle. San Diego Trolley Tours stop there as well as other sights, and it's a good way to get around town without driving and parking hassles.
Tips for Visiting Seaport Village
Seaport Village is open every day and shops have later hours in the summer. Go in the morning for smaller crowds, mid-day for a meal or snack, or in the evening to watch the sunset.
If you don't like shopping, take a walk along the waterfront instead. The views toward Coronado Island, Coronado Bridge, and from the pier around to the marina are photogenic enough to keep you busy for a while.
Pick up a brochure. Not only does it have an event schedule, but it also has coupons for purchase discounts and free gifts.
If you park in the Seaport Village parking lot, take your ticket with you for validation with purchase.
Where Is Seaport Village Located?
849 W. Harbor Drive
Seaport Village website
Seaport Village is south of the cruise ship terminal and USS Midway. It's easy to get to from anywhere in San Diego.
If you're in the Gaslamp area, walk toward the waterfront on Kettner Blvd., crossing Harbor Blvd. If you arrived on a cruise ship that's just in port for the day, you can use their free shuttle from the cruise terminal.
To avoid traffic and parking hassles, take the San Diego Trolley to Seaport Village Station and walk.
Hail a pedicab (an open-topped, bicycle-powered vehicle). They charge a flat fee for a point-to-point trip, and rates are somewhat negotiable when they're not busy.
Drive along Harbor Drive from the airport and waterfront, or take Kettner Blvd. or Pacific Highway out of downtown.
Water Taxis stop near Greek Islands Cafe and are a good way to get to Coronado from Seaport. You can summon them by calling 619-235-8294.

ADHD symptoms must be present since childhood and affect the person's ability to function in daily life. These symptoms must create significant difficulty in at least two areas of life, such as home, social settings, school, or work. Increasingly, researchers are studying ADHD in the context of executive functions—the brain functions that activate, organize, integrate, and manage other functions. Impairment of these executive functions is considered highly interrelated to symptoms associated with ADHD.
There are three primary subtypes of ADHD, each associated with different symptoms.

What would you say the greatest challenge in your field would be?
The greatest challenge in my field would be to somehow connect the fields to people's spiritual lives — connecting the knowledge to people's self-knowledge. It happens, it sometimes happens, but it's more accidental. So, the problem of God, of course it happens, you know people, they think deeply about these, and they take it very personally, but I mean, Georgetown, probably because of its Jesuit, Catholic tradition, probably cultivates that, but I'm thinking of the field in general, where there's just great studies done of religion as this human phenomenon. But yeah, how to bring it into our own spiritual lives in appropriate ways. So getting beyond the idea that this is a body of knowledge that we can kind of categorize: This is how religion works in this society or that society or this place or that place. I think the U.S. is a nation indeed of theology, there's just a lot of impoverished discourse on theology. Maybe a better way to put it is how to get really good theology into the public sphere, whether it's for some nonbeliever or some deeply committed believer. Both among non-believers and believers, I find a certain impoverished theology such that some people believe that the world came into being 5000 years ago, and then you have some unbelievers who see religion as the consummate evil. Yeah, that's what I would say, how to bring — not just theology, but real, profound theology into the nitty, gritty reality of the public square. That's a challenge because they don't have time for lengthy discussions; it has to be delivered accessibly, quickly: how to do that versus just loud noise, pundits knocking away. How can it be understood that theology has real relevance to our public interest, so that someday people would see that no less than having a good police force, good theology is vital to our public interests.
Is there any memorable encounter with a student that comes to mind?
I had a student who was raised in a very scientific family, empiricism, spirituality wasn't on his radar screen, and it was in a course on Islam. It wasn't his religion, it wasn't my religion, but we were reading these very humanistic, philosophical, spiritual texts and he kept resisting. He said, "What's the worth of this?" Thanksgiving, it was a fall semester, I think three years ago, he comes in and he says to me, for the first time in my life, I realized I have a soul. Now I can't take credit for that, but it happened in my course, but I think the course material and our discussions and his classmates all — it happened. Whatever it means to him, he can figure that out, whether it leads him into a church community, or into deeper spiritual, philosophical reflection of a kind. He has something inside of him that is not simply reducible to material — that was unexpected but just wonderful to hear. And I saw how eager he was, he realized that that discovery — for the rest of his life, he's going to be thinking and pursuing and you know, it just opened up a whole new journey for his life. Just to have been able to witness that.
If you could teach one course that you haven't been able to teach yet, what would it be?
A course on economics but bringing in the theological: looking at economics in terms of its transcendent meaning. So we would do all those serious economics, a genie would give me knowledge about economics so that I could teach as an expert in the standards of the field, I'm not talking about some vague wishy-washy thing, but yeah, that I can bring to it a theo-humanistic perspective. I could teach a course on economics in all its rigor according to the fields, but bring a theo-humanistic perspective on it. I wish I could have the talent, but I'd have to go back and get another doctorate; I don't know if that's going to happen. It's such a fundamental part — economics is so fundamental to humans, what we do for our survival as individuals, as societies.
I do a lot to work on their writing skills; they already take that away. We all can improve but there's a tendency among my students to say that they sharpened their writing skills a bit but what I'd have liked to see, and I'm sure it happens, but to see tangibly as from their first paper to their last paper is to see them take out of the class not answers but questions that they can pursue for the rest of their lives. I think that happens, but I can't measure it. I hope it happens. I guess that's what I'd like to see, that more than answers, they take questions away from the course, questions they'd never considered before, that are then questions for them to pursue for years to come.

Nestled among the many scenic and civic attractions of Orlando's Urban Trail, the Mennello Museum of American Art has been welcoming visitors for the past 19 years. Lake Formosa in Loch Haven Cultural Park forms the backdrop of this great institution and provides exquisite landscapes that complement the collection of artworks housed within this cultural gem. The museum houses an extensive collection of paintings by American folk artist Earl Cunningham. Further, as a Smithsonian Museum affiliate, the Mennello offers a variety of exhibitions organized by its counterpart to complement its internally curated exhibits. This Orlando landmark has a mission to promote an understanding of the American creative landscape over its long and storied history.
The Mennello Museum opened its doors to visitors in 1998. Its original mission was to display and preserve the works of American artist Earl Cunningham. In doing this, the museum was committed to contextualizing his work within a larger framework of traditional and contemporary American artists. While the museum is owned and operated by the city of Orlando, the structure was once the home of Dr. Philip Phillips, who was a well-known local philanthropist. The four-room gallery space creates an intimate viewing experience for guests, while the Marilyn L. Mennello Sculpture Garden outside forms the perfect backdrop for post viewing reflection. Complete with sculptures and a 350-year-old live oak tree, the garden seamlessly blends into the Orlando Urban Trail with its numerous walking paths.
The Mennello Museum is committed to facilitating an understanding and appreciation of fine arts among various community groups. To this end, the museum offers a variety of programs aimed at youth and families. Chief among these efforts is the Mennello's Community School of the Arts program, which endeavors to connect artists with students aged 11 to 21. This program consists of workshops that integrate hands-on art making with a theoretical framework for understanding artistic methods and concepts. Aside from the usual docent-guided tours, the Mennello Museum opens its doors free of charge to families every second Sunday of the month for their signature Free Family Funday Program.
The permanent collection of the Mennello Museum consists of works by American artist, Earl Cunningham, which were donated to the institution by the Mennello family. Cunningham started his journey as a tinker, seaman, and chicken farmer, and eventually taught himself how to paint. His art reflects his lifelong love of the sea as well as his prolific travels all over the States and parts of Canada. Over the course of his career, his art became representative of a style known as American Primitive Fauve. His landscapes imbue viewers with a sense of childlike wonder as he blends sophistication with innocence, and reality with fantasy. Cunnigham's work has received much critical acclaim since his death in 1977, and today he is one of the best known 20th-century American Folk artists. His work has been showcased all around the country and has been displayed at some of the most respected museums in the nation, such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Many of the museum's exhibits can be seen in the sculpture garden. One of the most treasured pieces that appears there was created by the renowned artist Albert Paley. Viewers are invited to contemplate the way the artist has repurposed materials normally used in construction to convey a complex array of themes and emotions in his stunning sculpture Hector. Inspired by the eponymous character from the Greek epic, The Iliad, Paley's sculpture invites viewers to reimagine the man, the warrior, and the husband through his skillful use of shape and color.
In addition to Paley's piece, the garden is also currently hosting a special exhibition titled Alice Aycock: Waltzing Matilda and Twin Vortexes. The two pieces on display were originally part of a seven-piece series titled Park Avenue Paper Chase. This exhibition kicks off the Mennello's Grounds for Exhibitions exhibit, which aims to introduce Orlando residents to nationally acclaimed artists not otherwise exhibited in Orlando.
Recent additions to the museum's collection include works by Barbara Sorensen, which consist of pieces from both her Hanging Boats and Chalices series. Sorenson uses clay to explore themes converging on nature, spirituality and the use of the ritual. Her expert deployment of juxtaposing colors and textures invites viewers to explore the metaphors inherent in her work.


Security researchers have discovered adware which affects OS X and could be used as a doorway for Trojans.
The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) pulled the covers off adware's "dirty little secret" this week with the release of its latest report.
Jessica Bennett of San Diego filed the lawsuit last week.
A China-based mobile app promotion company reportedly created an adware attack that takes total control over victims' Android devices, FireEye found.
Researchers have identified a new strain of malicious adware that is impossible for affected Android device owners to uninstall.
Auto-rooting adware embeds itself as a system application, and becomes almost impossible to remove.
A subsidiary of America Online has settled Federal Trade Commission charges that it illegally bundled adware with free security software.
Symantec has filed suit against Hotbar.com in the hopes of winning a court ruling supporting its right to detect certain Hotbar programs as adware.
A Malwarebytes blogger says Firefox users might want to remove the latest potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) from adware application Mint Cast and its variant Shell&Services.
To most companies, the perception is that the biggest threat to their users' security continues to come from email and Spam.

Look what you made us do: Taylor Swift's 5 most vengeful songs
Although some may be worried about the dark turn the singer has taken, this isn't the first time Swift has snuck in lyrical jabs at former friends or flames that have crossed her
Taylor Swift. Richard Shotwell / Invision / AP File
Snake emojis aside, Taylor Swift's newest single Look What You Made Me Do has got a lot of people talking.
The vengeful lyrics, repetitive chorus and accompanying music video have made it clear the pop star doesn't forgive and forget.
When the video for the single was released, eyebrows were raised - the pop star seems to have referenced every single person who has ever wronged her.
Although some may worry about the dark turn she seems to have taken, this isn't the first time she has put jabs at former friends or flames that have crossed her in to her music.
Given the most recent snipes, we decided to take a look back at five other savage songs she's unloaded in the past:
Picture to Burn (2008)
This should have been our early warning sign that Swift means business when it comes to being heartbroken or feeling betrayed. The song was reportedly inspired by her former high school boyfriend. She dated him briefly before he left her for one of her friends. It's definitely the angriest track on her debut album Taylor Swift.
Better Than Revenge (2010)
The song features the lyrics "there is nothing better I do than revenge", so we can't say we weren't warned, right? Swift wrote the song when she was 18 and it's reported to be about her failed relationship with Joe Jonas. More so, about the woman he supposedly left her for - actress Camilla Belle. This may well be the harshest song she's ever released. Despite being catchy and upbeat, the lyrics are actually quite stinging.
Dear John (2010)
Yet another song about a man who wronged the songstress. The slowed down track was said to be about musician John Mayer. In a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone, he talked about how much the song "humiliated" him and made him "feel terrible". After all, the lyrics: "Dear John, I see it all, now it was wrong, don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?" are pretty telling.
Mean (2011)
Going back to her country music days, Swift continued showing signs that the best revenge would come through music. The song doesn't specify one person - although it was rumoured to be about music critic Bob Lefsetz. This track boasts about how great her life will become, while (presumably) the person who was mean to her will basically do nothing in life and end up alone. After all, she sings: "All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life." Harsh.
Bad Blood featuring Kendrick Lamar (2015)
This track is much more upbeat, but don't let that fool you — it's still a track that shows what happens when you betray Swift in the friendship stakes. Showing that she has friends in high places - there are appearances by Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding, and Gigi Hadid - the premise still centres around revenge and how some things simply can't be forgiven.

EXECUTED and INNOCENT: Carlos De Luna was convicted and sentenced to death in 1983 even though no blood evidence, DNA evidence, or fingerprints linked him to the crime. He was identified by only one witness. Carlos, like everyone facing the death penalty, could not afford his own attorneys and was represented at trial by unqualified court-appointed attorneys. One of his attorneys was a former prosecutor who had never handled a criminal defense case. Just six years later, De Luna was executed. But another man – Carlos Hernandez – bragged to at least five people that he actually committed the crime. Hernandez and De Luna look remarkably similar: when shown photos of the two men side by side, even their family members can't tell them apart. Experts now believe Texas made a mistake when it executed 27-year-old Carlos De Luna.
